In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 127 Tomioka Giyu's Swordsmanship

Even though Shimizu knew that Tomioka Giyuu was just talking like this and wasn't being sarcastic on purpose, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Eh? Isn't this method possible?"

Tanjiro said in a panic after hearing what Tomioka Giyuu said.

"No, he really felt that this opportunity made difficult things easy."

"really?"

Tanjiro looked at Giyu Tomioka with suspicion, while Giyu Tomioka remained expressionless and nodded slightly.

It’s really true!
The young people in the mountain villages are more shocked today than in the past decade or so combined.

"Then, let's go and find the lord quickly."

Tomioka Giyuu said seriously.

"No hurry. Let's go down the mountain and buy some clothes for the little girl in the town, so she won't be killed by the sun. Also..."

Shimizu silently drew out the Nichirin Sword towards Tomioka Giyuu.

"Although I know that what you just said is completely different from what you thought in your heart, I am still grateful → I feel offended, so... I want to spar with the pillar to see how big the gap between my strength and his is."

Giyu Tomioka looked at Shimizu's actions and suddenly realized something.

So you wanted to learn from me and exchange feelings with me like Fuzugawa Miyabi?

He was happy to do so.

"I hope you won't get hurt by me."

Tomioka Giyuu kindly reminded him, but his expressionless face and cold tone made it hard for people not to associate it with the word "sarcasm".

A # symbol appeared on Qingshui's forehead.

"Breath of Thunder·Shape of One·Thunderbolt Flash!"

Lightning instantly passed through the snow and came in front of Tomioka Giyuu, who had a calm look in his eyes and thrust the Nichirin sword in his hand forward.

"Water Breathing·Seventh Form·Shizuku Ripple Strike!"

Just like a layer of water rising in front of Tomioka Giyuu, Shimizu's attack turned into ripples and dissipated.

"Breathing of the Wind·Type 2·Claw Claw Koto Wind!"

"Breathing of the Wind·Seventh Form·Strong Tengu Wind!"

"Thunder Breathing·Land Type·Lightning and Thunder!"

Although the fight with Tomioka Giyu was a spur-of-the-moment decision, for Shimizu, Tomioka Giyu is a very good sparring partner. His strength is relatively high among the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, and in the Demon Slayer world, he is also a well-deserved first-class fighter.

This is enough for Qingshui to have a clearer understanding of his current strength.

There was a creaking sound of wind and thunder, as if there were violent lightning in a storm.

Tomioka Giyu held the Nichirin Sword in his hand and danced calmly without any disturbance, blocking all of Shimizu's attacks.

Water Breathing is the most peaceful and neutral breathing method of all. It is both offensive and defensive. It is the gentlest and best at defense, and can also launch a counterattack while defending.

As the strongest Water Pillar after the first Water Pillar, Giyu Tomioka demonstrated the characteristics of water breathing to the fullest.

Tanjiro was so surprised that the axe in his hand fell to the ground.

So... these two people are so strong?

So just now, did Mr. Giyuu hold back on himself and Nezuko?
"Thunder Breathing·Type 3·Gather mosquitoes into thunder!" "Wind Breathing·Type 5·Cold autumn mountain wind!"

The ripple-like lightning exploded at a speed as fast as a swarm of mosquitoes, and combined with the wind blades rotating around Qingshui's body, the surrounding air produced a roar.

Qingshui only recently figured out the trick of using the two breathing methods together - mainly because of the extremely high affinity between his original body and the incarnation in the DC world for the wind and lightning attributes.

This is equivalent to combining the characteristics of two breathing methods to unleash greater power, but Qingshui has only developed the prototype of this move so far.

Even so, Giyu Tomioka had to treat it with caution.

The person in front of him seemed to be more than just an ordinary swordsman.

"Water Breathing·Land Form·Twist Vortex!"

Also a whirlpool formed by water flow came towards it, but after holding out for a while, it was torn apart by the wind blades, and then destroyed by the continuous sword moves that were as fast as lightning.

"Water Breathing·Form 11·Nagi!"

Tomioka Giyuu seemed to be standing still, his entire body seemed to be motionless, but Shimizu's eyes moved.

In an instant, the sea was calm, and both the strong wind and the thunder disappeared without a trace.

Qingshui changed his feet quickly, using the technique of Thunder Breathing and the instant body movement technique to flash backwards in an instant.

This move is very powerful.

In the original time and space, Tomioka Giyu used this self-created move to instantly kill the Lower Moon Five. After activating the markings, he was even able to use this move to hold off Muzan for a while after Tanjiro was hit in the eye by Muzan.

"Incredibly sophisticated swordsmanship."

Qingshui exclaimed in admiration.

He roughly understood Giyu Tomioka's move, but it was precisely because he understood it that he was deeply shocked.

With strikes so fast that they are almost impossible to detect with the naked eye, he accurately breaks through all attacks within his attack range.

This caused the strange scene just now. Giyu Tomioka remained in place, but all the attacks around him were completely destroyed, and within a certain range of himself, everything was calm.

The principle is actually the same as looking at an electric fan with the naked eye. When the fan is turned to a high speed and the fan blades rotate fast enough, it looks like it is still because the naked eye cannot capture the frame rate.

Unless you encounter someone who is much stronger than Tomioka Giyu, this move can be considered an absolute defense to a certain extent.

This was Shimizu's first time fighting against a "Pillar", and the feeling that Tomioka Giyuu gave him reminded him of the two swordsmanship masters he had seen in the Naruto world.

In the world of Naruto, Hanzo of the Salamander and Sakumo Hatake are considered the pinnacle of the use of sword-type weapons in the current era. However, Shimizu believes that Giyu Tomioka's swordsmanship level is not much worse than these two. It's just that he does not have chakra, so his upper limit is locked. There is definitely a gap in strength compared to those two Kage-level powerhouses.

"I didn't expect you to be not as weak as I thought."

Shimizu silently stared at Giyu Tomioka with a pair of dead fish eyes.

"You should be able to become a pillar soon, provided you don't get killed accidentally."

Are you praising me or cursing me?!

The sun gradually rose from the sky, and everyone placed Nezuko under the shade of a tree. Tomioka Giyuu covered Nezuko with his haori to protect her from direct sunlight.

Shimizu bought a set of gauze clothes that could cover the whole body and wore a hat. He also hired a carriage and placed Nezuko in the carriage. The group left Kumotori and headed towards the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Shimizu fed Douzi some green beans and asked him to tell Ubuyashiki Yoya the information together with Tomioka Giyu's 鎹鎹 Kanzaburo.

Because Tomioka Giyu's crow is old and has a bit of Alzheimer's disease, it often conveys wrong messages.
